Florida is the epicenter for Coup Attempts in the Untied States and Brazil

So, Jair Bolsonaro the leader who arguably killed more of his citizens than Ron DeathSantis moved to Orlando, Florida and strolled down the street like an exalted foreign potentate has now launched on Trump Style Insurrection Brazil.
Thousands of supporters of Brazil’s former rightwing president Jair Bolsonaro stormed the country’s Congress, supreme court and presidential palace on Sunday, creating a crisis for new leftist leader Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva just a week into his presidency. 

Social media footage showed crowds vandalising the interiors of the three institutions in Brasília in scenes reminiscent of the US Capitol invasion two years ago by supporters of ex-president Donald Trump. Clad in the yellow and green of the Brazilian flag, the protesters demanded Lula’s election victory be overturned, that the leftwinger be imprisoned and for a military coup d’état. Around 150 people were arrested, local media reported.
Jair Bolsonaro lost re-election in Brazil last year and every right-winger in the United States was imploring him to stay and deny the results of the Election and simply stay in power

“Well, wait a second,” Tucker Carlson said with a furrowed brow. “The election is still ongoing. The incumbent has not conceded. How do you know the claims are, quote, false? Well, of course, you don’t. You’re taking sides and using censorship to cement the results in place. This is propaganda. YouTube is interfering in a democratic election in a sovereign nation. How is that allowed?”

Steven Bannon and Stephen Miller ran with the lie that Lula stole the election aided by President Biden, the State Department and the CIA and suggested violence was the answer.  Steve Bannon appears to be key facilitator for setting both the Jan6th Insurrection and the Bolsonaro Brazilian Coup attempt in motion.

And it's incontrovertible that if Donald John Fucking Traitor Trump had been in office during the 2022 Brazil Election Bolsanaro would have denied the results, arrested Lula and his supporters, stayed in Office and instituted a Junta.  Recall Traitor Trump was silent when the paramilitary goons of Turkish Dictator Erdoğan, attacked a group of mostly American protesters outside the Turkish ambassador’s residence in Washington, D.C. 9 Americans were wounded by the Turkish guards.

Did Ron DeSantis have any pre-knowledge of the Coup Attempt?  Did Ron DeSantis provide aid to Bolsanaro?  Did DeSantis facilitate the strategy or provide Florida as a staging and planning with this?  Did Mike Flynn meet with Bolsonaro?  Did DeSantis have a plane standing by to jet Bolsonaro back to Brazil if his supporters started and the military toppled the Lula Government?

What's clear is Fascism spearheaded by Republicans, Faux News, and on-line rightwing propagandists are exporting the American version and supporting authoritarians worldwide and Florida is a Nexus.
